An orthodontist hypothesizes a relationship exists between tongue thrust swallowing and the position of anterior teeth. He conducts a study by selecting 35 subjects who have tongue thrust swallowing and a control group of 35 subjects without tongue-thrust swallowing. Occlusion was determined using Angie's classification of malocclusion. The overjet of those who had tongue thrust were measured and compared with the corresponding values of the control subjects. The same orthodontist performed all measurements. Results determined that with p<0.5, overjet measurements were significantly increased in persons with tongue thrust when compared to persons who did not have tongue thrust. Which study was conducted?

A community fair was held to provide information to residents regarding issues related to dental health. The dental hygienists organizing the event wanted to determine if the fair had an impact on the attendees' dental knowledge. Attendees were asked to complete a questionnaire prior to visiting five booths and immediately following attendance at the last booth. Ninety-three attendees voluntarily chose to complete the survey. The survey was a 10-item dental health knowledge questionnaire with each item worth on point. It was administered in a pre- and poste-test design. Questionnaire items were in a true or false format. Each item was scored "1" if answered correctly and "0" if answered incorrectly. Items were totaled and overall pre-tests scores were compared with overall post-test scores. A statistical analysis was used to determine the difference between the mean scores (p<.01). The pretest results revealed a mean score of 6.49 and posttest score revealed a man score of 7.91. After reviewing the results the hygienists concluded the dental health fair was a benefit to the community. Which study was conducted?
